Northern Bayberry (Myrica pensylvanica) is a rounded shrub native to eastern North America, with leathery grey green leaves that have a spicy scent when crushed.
Male and female flowers occur on separate plants, so both sexes are needed for female shrubs to carry the persistent grey white berries. The waxy fruit has historically been used for candles. Plants tolerate poor or wet soil, drought, wind, and salt spray.
The seed's wax coating should be washed away with warm soapy water and rinsed before stratification.

How to stratify seed
In the fridge. Put the seed in a bag with a damp medium such as peat moss, vermiculite, sand or coco coir. The medium is only there to hold moisture. Keep the bag in the fridge, above freezing, for the cold period shown, then sow.
Or outside. Sow the seed outdoors in the fall and let winter do the cold period.
